DEC-JAN-FEB 2011
How is everyone doing? I’m doing great, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Lots of great thing have happen down here since my last blog update. Even though I’ve been posting lots of pictures and videos of all our ministry’s activities, I still want to also update you through this blog about some of the key events that we have done is the last few months.
Youth group keeps growing thanks to your prayers. We have a lot of new Christians in our church, a new location and new goals for this year. These are some of the biggest accomplishments that our youth group has had is the last few months:


This event was back in December is the biggest mall of the city. First time that a Christian event takes place in such a public area like this. We were invited to be part of it and by us being part of it; it opened up a lot of new opportunities for upcoming events in different areas of the city.



On January 1st, we had a concert call NEW YEAR WITH CRISTO URBANO, it was a blast! It was the first concert thrown at our new church, the place was full and people from different parts of Santiago came up to support the event. We also invited different rappers for the activity, it was great!

This video was recorded at a concert we had in the streets of a community of a friend of us. He wanted to put together this activity in front of his house because he was starting a small group at his house and he wanted his neiborghood to hear the gospel event before his small group began. I was really happy because that day, a new generation of rappers from my youth group performed and the did really good.

We had a little competition: You gotta get a strike otherwise this could happen to you... I was a victim too :) of the pushups

Within my youth group, we organized a bible ball from all the bible studies we have done in the last 3 months. During the bible studies I gave them a paper to take home and study what we have in each lesson. I told them that we were going to organized a contest with a bunch of questions from those bible studies and that the price of the winning team was going to be to go bowling…Well, it was great idea. I was impressing with how much they learned. We took them bowling and they had the time of their lives 



Every February the college where I became a youth pastor, Great Lakes Christian College, brings a group of student down here for a missions trip. It has become a tradition that every time they come, because it’s during san valentines, we have a big dinner with their group and our youth group to spend time together and have some fun. A good time to relax and just share with each other



The next vitilla tournament is coming! We already had a day that we called “spring training” before the actual tournament starts. People are exited and we can’t wait for it to start. Check it out

Here are some pictures of some of the baptisms of these new Christians



This girl grew up in church and finally made the decision of giving her life to Christ completely. Its crazy to say this but I hold this girl when she was a baby so for me to have the opportunity of baptize her it a big honor (Samantha)

Last year a group from East view came on a mission’s trip and some of the girls from that group began a friendship with this girl that lives almost in front of our new church building. This friendship lead her to Christ, to day she is a strong Christian thanks to the way God works on people’s hearts through a missions trip.

Thanks for keeping up with our work down here, for your prayers and all the support ya’ll provide to us to make this possible. Keep praying because we have lots of activities coming up. May God bless you and always provide for you and your families.
In Christ
